Kate Middleton’s no-nonsense approach, ‘ruthless discipline’ shapes her future as queen: expert

Kate Middleton is said to be taking a no-nonsense approach to becoming queen one day.

The Princess of Wales, who is recognized as Britain’s reliable royal, is said to hold a greater influence over the House of Windsor than once imagined, as she supports Prince William, heir to the throne.

“Her emphasis on a ruthless discipline in her regimented daily routine and commitment to self-improvement has helped her,” British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.

She divides her time meticulously between parenting, supporting the heir to the throne, and her royal duties and manages to fit in an intense workout regime,” said Fordwich. “Regarding her three children, she can combine tradition with a modern, more middle-class approach to family. This, on top of her dedication to duty, is seen as essential for the monarchy’s relevance and continuity.”

Fordwich’s statements came shortly after a source close to the royal household told People that the 43-year-old is the most popular member of the royal family.

She’s very much seen as a player at the center of team Windsor,” added Simon Lewis, a former Buckingham Palace communications chief.
Royal author Valentine Low also told the outlet that Kate has “developed a toughness” behind palace doors as she supports her husband. One source told the outlet, “She takes things seriously – and thank goodness for that.”

“She has this public image of being nice and smiley,” Low told the outlet. “But she is strong-minded, strong-willed, and prepared to fight for what she wants and what she thinks is right.”

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital that Kate has good reason to develop thicker skin.
